Tomorrow’s illiterate will not be the man who can’t read; he will be the man who has not learned how to unlearn.

Like adequate education, freedom of expression is no longer a political nicety, but a precondition for economic competitiveness

Nobody knows the future with certainty. We can, however, identify ongoing patterns of change.

People of the future may suffer not from an absence of choice but from a paralysing surfeit of it. They may turn out to be victims of that peculiarly super-industrial dilemma: overchoice.

The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn.

Future shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time.
